am i exasperated. i am.m exasperated with the idea that unless -- 20 million people -- you can't hatch health insurance. these folks will not reopen the government. that is irresponsible. my expectation is that, if and when -- john boehner makes the decision to put a bill on the floor, only thing holding it up. it could happen in the next 10 minutes. and that vote takes place and government reopens, and if and when they -- they vet to maote sure congress pays our bills on time. so america does not default on costs that already accrued, then -- i am prepared to have -- a reasonable civil negotiation around a whole shrlew offer use reflected not just by my word but my deeds over the last four years. >> joining me now, cnbc's john harwood. congratulations on the interview. >> thank you, alex. it was, it was a big moment to talk to the president. i was struck by the fact that he really feels a sense of grievance about the situation that he is in. he said he is welling to negotiate on a budget deal with republica

and am i exasperated?olutely i'm exasperated, because this is entirely unnecessary. >> angela, no doubt he's exasperated. but how long will republicans go on with this ridiculous and reckless behavior? >> well, martin, you know what's really scary is, i really don't know the answer to this. if you were to ask me a couple weeks ago, i would have thought, okay, maybe a couple hours of a shutdown, just so they could reach agreement. that is not happening here. you have folks who literally are boycotting and they see that as their responsibility to the american people. i have no idea who it is that they're even talking to, because if they go beyond the borders of their gerrymander congressional districts, it's very clear that the american people at large don't support shutting down the government to protest obama care. or the affordable care act, which is also ironic, because people don't seem to know they're the same thing nowadays. the other thing is, that is tremendously frustrating, initially i was saying,

and am i exasperated? absolutely i'm exasperated because this is entirely unnecessary. >> well, that's off to a good start. we'll have the rest of the exclusive interview in just a moment and get immediate reaction from an all-star panel, including larry kudlow, democratic strategist, jimmy williams and aide to george w. bush, sara fagan. let's get a quick check of highway the markets are closing. stocks cutting losses toward the end triggered by worries over how long the government shutdown could last. bob, the marketses shrugged this off yesterday. what happened today? >> down three of the last four sessions. put up the dow jones industrial average. it started a lot worse. we had a poor private sector report, private sector jobs report from the adp. then talk overnight this shutdown could last two weeks into the debt ceiling negotiations. that's not priced into the market. you see the dow down earlier on. we started turning around when the president announced later on he was going to meet with congressio

. >> reporter: the president declared himself exasperated today and although he has summoned the congressional leaders here for a meeting, none of them arrived expecting a break through. just a couple of hours before congressional leaders arrived here at the white house, the president sounded more frustrated than ever. >> am i exasperated, absolutely i am because this is entirely unnecessary. >> reporter: he said he's been the reasonable one. >> during the course of my presidency, i have bent over backwards to work with the republican party. >> reporter: now the white house says there is nothing to negotiate until the republicans agree to fund the government with no strings attached. >> we should not consider today's meeting a negotiations? >> not in the sense that the president would make any demands on congress in return for their willingness to simply do their jobs. >> reporter: it looks like the standoff could go on until october 17th. that's when the government faces default if congress does not raise the so called debt ceiling. >> as for the estimate on the cost of the shutdown, if it go

they are also exasperated by something else, french football clubs. which have decided to go on strike. >> moving right on to the next topic. french football clubs have decided to go on strike. there is pray good reason for that. the french socialists want to vote in a new tax for people earning over one million euros a year. the wealthy tax treated 75% of their income above a certain level of earnings would be taxed. that is the case of about 115 french footballers and eight french coaches. french football clubs have said, they're killing us. we are not going to be able to hire the best players. the french football clubs are paying the tax for the players. the clubs are going on strike. could this happen anywhere else in the world? do you see turkish football club going on strike? >> it is impossible. it is curious we have this new tax just after -- >> monaco is russian-don't. the two richest clubs in french football -- >> they are in monaco. >> they are concerned by this -- are not concerned by this debate. >> so i think this decision is related to
